"I'm sure most of you are familiar with the rules of the Ancient Stairway. For those who aren't, there really isn't much to explain," the elder of the Lionheart family said while standing in the sky, looking down at the crowd.
"In short, there are no rules. Even attacking each other is allowed. However, killing is forbidden and will be punished. Don't try to show off, climb as far as your limit allows, and if you can't continue, retreat."
"Also, if you manage to climb a good number of steps, you might even be chosen as a disciple by one of the elders of the Lionheart family." After speaking, the elder waved his hand, and the stairway became accessible to everyone.
Many of them exchanged glances and immediately started climbing without hesitation. The stairway was wide and large enough to hold a huge number of people.
"I know I don't need to tell you this, but be careful on the stairway," Andreas said, glancing at Daniel.
